Dobbyn ,Dave: Anotherland | |
|||||||
|
|||||||||
|
|
After a break of five years his last album, 'Available Light' was released to critical acclaim and has since sold in excess of double-platinum. The first single "Welcome Home" (produced by Neil Finn) won him 'Songwriter of the Year' at the 2005 New Zealand Music Awards. At the 2006 event he was named 'Male Artist of the Year'. Dave regularly performs in the U.K., and in 2007 he was asked to sing for the Queen & Royal Family at the dedication in Hyde Park of the New Zealand War Memorial. Those forays to Britain also saw him meet with the mighty Adrian Sherwood & Skip "Little Axe" McDonald, who produced the 'Anotherland' album. The first single, "Wild Kisses Like Rain", is a "pure, unadulterated love song" says Dobbyn. The track features Kiwis Mark Vanilau (piano); Marcus Lawson (bass); and Ross Burge (drums), alongside London percussionist Pete Lockett & Skip on acoustic guitar. 'Anotherland' is an aural landscape of traditional, hook-laden Dave Dobbyn songs, with blues & gospel influences; mixed up by the reggae / dub signature stylings of the On-U Sound production team.
